A Closer Look Into Malaysia’s First Carbon Auction By Bursa Carbon Exchange.
As businesses and corporates strive to reduce their carbon footprint in their effort towards a net-zero emissions outcome, establishing a carbon trading marketplace has become increasingly crucial. A carbon credit market provides a framework to incentivize and acknowledge climate action by facilitating the exchange of carbon credits obtained from the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs). While the carbon credit market in Malaysia is still relatively small, the launch of the Bursa Malaysia Carbon Exchange (“BCX”) marks a significant milestone in the country's ongoing effort to achieve a more sustainable future. On 16 March 2023, the BCX held the nation's first carbon credit auction. The carbon auction is expected to provide a transparent mechanism for pricing and trading carbon credits in Malaysia, while at the same time potentially reducing and streamlining fragmented markets dominated by the bilateral trading activities.

After releasing the Administrative Provisions on Deep Synthesis of Internet-based Information Services last December to particularly address the use of AI in providing internet-based information services, the CAC recently issued a more comprehensive set of draft regulations titled Administrative Measures on Generative Artificial Intelligence Services (the “Measures”) for public comment. A summary of the key points and developments under the Measures that may be worth considering are set out below.
